i read this on allakhazam: http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/guides.html?guide=308


anyone got any more info on the racial abilities? it lists what they are but not really how useful / powerful they are .. for instance how much does +2 avoidance help .. or what sort of runes are those that some races get? like, a castable rune with a recast time on them that is a while? is the rune powerful? etc.

also what are those special attacks are that some get .. is it like a bash button? (eg. not useful if you have other attacks)

also on the hide abilities, will you always hide? or do you have to con shit to see if its indifferent like in EQ1


also im wondering if bards regen power or not (EQ1 the only regen they ever got was base and FT items, and maybe AA mana regen too?) and whether or not racial +power regen would have any effect

Since im not 18 and I dont know anyone who is I dont know how useful the abilities are. I do love Dark Elf Ultravision though which is NOTHING like EQLive

Its much easier in EQ2 to see when someone sees invis. If thier name is surrounded by a red border, that is an aggresive con. So if you are invis/hid and the mob has a red border around their name - they see you. No need to right click, or con or anything.

+2 of anything isn't going to help ALOT but some always helps...

Personally from that list I'm going with:

Forge Invention Boosts Weaponsmith skills - gonna be a weaponsmith
Flash of Insight +3% Power - power goood
Confusing Babble Decrease Hate - hate bad
Power Surge +2 AGI, +3 Power Regen - power regen goood... agility goood, especially when i tank lots. I am the uber gnome

Not necessarily in that order

For me its:

Embrace of Hate Rune that absorbs magic damage.
Innoruuks’s Cauldron +3% Power
Fueled by Hate +3 Power Regen, +2 Magic resist

Shadow Shroud Hide (can not move)
OR
Sinister Cunning +3 INT

The reason for the OR is it depends on how useful the Hide is. If it is instant and rarely fails I would take it even though I get invisibilty. If its like old EQ hide (Fails often for non rogues), im gonna say f**k it.

as a barb mystic I chose the chemistry skill boost, it makes a huge difrence in how fast I lvl my crafting and how wel lI do at it.

btw, all those resist skills, I think they mean to say +30 instead of +3, because the lvl 8or 11 whiechever it is resist you pick is +30 and racials are suposedto be even stronger...

it's all pretty meager considering the 100+ bonus you get from priest group buffs already, and that many of the items I have at lvl 21 give +50-100 in one or two resists.

i know in EQ 3 power regen was a pretty good addition due to it being all the time regen (standing, running, etc) ..

is it not like that?

I just chose 3% HP since that seemed like the only one that would go up as i leveled.
